According to the State Plan developed following the closure of inpatients beds at Farmington and Metro Hospital in St. Louis, Community Counseling Center implemented and operates 3 short-term beds (ALOS: 2 weeks). The beds serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization and/or as a resource that hospitals may use to shorten inpatient stays. Patients utilizing these beds at Lou E. Masterman Center attend Community Counseling Center's Diversion Day Program.
